This is an online companion project for the Antonioni double CD release entitled "Michelangelo Antonioni - Trilogy And Epilogue" ( and/36 ), and is intended to serve as a general homage. The works featured on this project were solicited via public invitation. The artists were given free license to create work inspired by the late great film director, however out of all the submissions sent, only the ones featured here were chosen. Both the CD and online projects were planned and initiated (in June, 2007) three months before his passing in September of the same year, thereby making the launching of both projects all the more timely and poignant...

While downloading and listening to each track is an option, it is highly suggested that the entire release be downloaded and listened to in its proper order, so that the intended flow can be experienced.

Rare Frequency (December 2008)The lovely and/OAR record label, which is devoted to releasing sound art based around found sounds as well as CDs of pure location recordings, has just released a free mp3 compilation. Titled Translations of Opacity - For Michelangelo Antonioni, the collection features twenty-three understated tracks made in homage to the late Italian director. The artists are largely unfamiliar (with some notable exceptions, of course), but there is a lot of wonderful work here. Ethereal, yet concrète — perfect listening for a cold evening.
